Sofas, divans and the staircase in a Morley terrace

Sofas and beds are the things most likely to beat a terrace staircase. A three-seater normally goes in on its end through the front door with its feet off; upstairs, it is the bend and the headroom over it that decide. Divan bases are the usual trap: bought as one solid piece in a large size, they rarely clear a turning stair, whereas a base ordered in two halves usually goes up without trouble. A mattress is carried covered, flat or on its side, never folded.

On the hill streets the van stops where it is safe, and the sofa comes the rest of the way wrapped in blankets on a trolley. It helps to know which end of the street is higher and where the nearest space usually is. Semis in Churwell and Gildersome and the larger houses near Dartmouth Park generally have wider halls, where a corner sofa can go in with less fuss.

Measuring for a sofa or bed in Morley

Measure the sofa across its diagonal as well as its height and depth, then the tightest doorway or bend
In a terrace around Scatcherd Park or the centre, check the headroom over the stair bend as well as its width
Where the stairs turn, choose a divan that comes as two halves
Sofa feet, bolt-on arms and headboards come off for the carry and go back on
On a sloping street, tell us which end is higher and where a space usually comes free
Nothing old goes in the van for disposal; Leeds City Council handles bulky waste

Sofa & Bed Delivery in Morley: your questions

Will a corner sofa go into a Morley terrace?

Usually, because corner sofas split into sections. Send the section sizes and a photo of the front door and hall.

Do I need a split divan?

Yes, if your staircase has a bend in it. A solid base in one piece seldom gets round it in a Morley terrace.

Can you collect from IKEA Birstall or a Leeds store?

Yes. Send the order number and the collection details, and the bed or sofa is collected and carried to the room.

The sofa is for an attic room. Is that possible?

Sometimes. Attic stairs in converted terraces tend to be steep and narrow, so measure the top of the flight and the ceiling above it. If it clearly will not go, you hear before collection, and a sofa that splits into sections may be the better buy.
